The George H. Gallup, Jr. Distinguished
Lecture Series, named in honor of noted pollster
George Gallup, Jr., brings scholars, public officials, and
governmental leaders to the University campus whose Christian
faith has shaped their expertise and leadership. These lectures,
coupled with personal interaction with faculty, staff, and
students, provide a forum for distinguished leaders to share
their insights with the University community. The lectures
span traditional disciplinary boundaries and involve individuals
of exceptional accomplishment representing a broad spectrum
of backgrounds and interests. Mr. Gallup inaugurated the lecture
series in the spring of 2003.
The William M. Pinson Baptist History Lecture Series
has been established by Dallas Baptist University as an expression
of gratitude for Dr. William Pinson’s service to Baptists
throughout the United States, including serving as a pastor,
seminary professor, seminary president, and Baptist denominational
leader. Dr. Pinson’s presence on the DBU campus has
been well noted over the years, as he annually speaks to all
incoming DBU freshmen during chapel services about the history
and heritage of Baptists in Texas and throughout the United
States. His wife, Bobbie Pinson, serves as a DBU trustee.
Through this endowed lecture series, Dr. Pinson’s insight
and knowledge will continue to be made available for DBU students
in the years to come.
